After two days of snow falling making my neighborhood look like a Norman Rockwell painting, plus shoveling & using the snow blower on the white fluffy stuff Plus its about a good 12-18 inches deep now I have decided its time for one of my winter favorites!
Chili!
Deciding on chili as a last minute thought for dinner requires my Easy Cheesy Chili recipe.
In this using can beans and canned stewed tomatoes eliminates a long cooking process.
It is totally the most delicious quickie chili's one can make plus serve proudly or I would not be sharing this with all my readers.
